Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method of controlling a motor vehicle brake system.
  • Regenerative brake systems in motor vehicles make it possible for at least a portion of the energy applied during braking to be stored in the vehicle and re-used for driving the vehicle. As a result, the energy consumption of the vehicle overall can be lowered and the operation can therefore be made more economical.
  • Motor vehicles with a regenerative brake system generally have different types of brake actuators for this purpose.
  • hydraulic friction brakes such as are known from conventional motor vehicles and an electrically regenerative brake are generally used.
  • the brake pressure for the friction brakes is applied via a brake pressure generating means or via the brake pedal movement as in conventional friction brakes.
  • the electrically regenerative brake is generally embodied as an electric machine/machines actuated in the generator mode and via which at least a portion of the entire braking power is applied.
  • the acquired electrical energy is fed into or back to a storage medium such as, for example, an on-board battery and re-used for driving the motor vehicle, wherein either suitable actuation of the electric machine/machines or a number of at least one separate electric motors is used.
  • WO 2004/101308 A1 discloses a brake system and a method for closed-loop controlling a brake system of a motor vehicle which has an electrically regenerative brake, in particular a generator and a number of hydraulic friction brakes driven by at least one brake pressure generating means via a braking medium, the overall deceleration of which is made up of deceleration portions of the friction brakes and of the electrically regenerative brake.
  • braking medium is diverted into a low-pressure accumulator in the case of braking with the electrically regenerative brake.
  • DE 10 2004 044 599 A1 describes a method for performing closed-loop control of a brake system of a motor vehicle which has an electrically regenerative brake, in particular a generator, and a number of hydraulic friction brake driven by a brake pressure generating means via a braking medium.
  • the desired overall deceleration is at least partially maintained in that an additional build of a brake pressure for the friction brakes takes place with a further auxiliary-force-assisted brake pressure generating means, for example an electric hydraulic pump.
  • WO2006/076999 A1 discloses a method for controlling a brake system of a motor vehicle which has an electric generator and a number of friction brakes which are assigned to axles of the motor vehicle, and the overall deceleration of which is composed of deceleration components of the electric generator and of the friction brakes.
  • the ratio of the setpoint deceleration components of a number of brakes with respect to one another is changed by means of a control device in that a correction value for a number of the brakes is determined from the ratio of the actual deceleration to the setpoint deceleration, which correction value is applied to the setpoint deceleration of these brakes.
  • This method compensates, for example, for ageing of the friction brakes.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to increase the efficiency level of the recuperation when using conventional friction brakes.
  • the efficiency level of the recuperation is given by the ratio of recovered electrical energy and the total kinetic energy of the vehicle converted during the braking process.
  • a method is therefore made available in which open- or closed-loop control of a motor vehicle brake system is carried out having friction brakes on the wheels of at least one axle, wherein the brake pressure generating means for the wheels of at least one axle are in a direct operative connection to the brake pedal, and at least one electrical machine is in an operative connection to at least one axle which can be used by applying an electrically regenerative braking torque for converting kinetic energy into electrical energy, in which in order to raise the efficiency level of the recuperation, the regenerative deceleration is increased even in the case of an unchanged brake pedal position and/or brake pedal force.
  • brake pressure generating means is understood to mean, for example, a tandem master brake cylinder or a single-circuit master brake cylinder.
  • operative connection is understood to mean a direct mechanical or hydraulic connection via which the entire energy required for the generated effect is applied.
  • the invention is based on the idea that an electrically regenerative braking torque which is as large as possible is always to be applied in order to recover the largest possible portion of kinetic energy in the form of electrical energy. If the generator can make available increased regenerative deceleration with respect to the start of the braking process, this increase is to take place even in the case of an unchanged brake pedal position or brake pedal force. As a result, even more electrical energy is available for subsequent acceleration processes and the range of the electrical drive is increased.
  • a decrease in the vehicle's own deceleration is expediently at least compensated by increasing the regenerative deceleration. Compensating the reduced vehicle's own deceleration does not reduce the braking comfort for the driver since when there is a fixed brake pedal position the deceleration also remains constant. At high speeds, the intrinsic deceleration is dominated by the wind resistance which increases quadratically with the speed. If a braking process is therefore started at a high speed, the deceleration decreases quickly during the braking process, which can be used for building up additional electrically regenerative deceleration. As a result, the range of the electrical drive increases.
  • the regenerative deceleration is also preferably increased beyond the amount corresponding to the brake pedal position or brake pedal force. If this takes place, in particular, in the case of a constant friction braking torque, the recovered electrical energy can be maximized even when conventional hydraulic friction brakes are used.
  • the additionally requested deceleration is particularly preferably selected as a function of the speed at the start of the braking process.
  • a generator with constant power can apply a particularly small amount of electrically regenerative deceleration, for which reason optimizations during the braking process permit the efficiency level to be raised significantly.
  • the additionally requested deceleration is particularly preferably adapted continuously or quasi-continuously during the braking process.
  • the maximum applied deceleration by the generator at the respective speed can be used in an optimum way during the entire braking process.
  • Quasi-continuous adaptation means here that changed deceleration is requested in time periods which are brief compared to the duration of the braking process.
  • the additionally requested deceleration is most particularly preferably selected in proportion to the change in speed since the start of the braking process.
  • the additional deceleration therefore increases more quickly than in the case of weak braking operations, as a result of which overall a continuous efficiency level of the recuperation can be achieved virtually independently of the deceleration requested by the driver.
  • the proportionality constant is approximately 0.05 g to approximately 0.2 g per 100 km/h. The driver does not find the corresponding additional deceleration unpleasant.
  • the additionally requested deceleration is selected as a function of the deceleration at the start of the braking process. Since the driver perceives changes relatively, a relatively strong increase can take place even in the case of a relatively strong initial deceleration.
  • the additionally requested declaration is selected as a function of the duration of the braking process.
  • the stability of the driving state is checked, in particular by evaluating wheel speed information and/or the information from acceleration and/or yaw rate sensors.
  • the braking torque at the axle or axles in an operative connection with an electric machine is open-loop or closed-loop controlled in such a way that said braking torque is greater than the braking torque present at the axle or axles braked only with friction brakes, in particular the entire deceleration is applied by an electrically regenerative braking torque.
  • a generator on the rear axle can then also apply the entire braking deceleration in the case of braking operations which are uncritical in terms of driving stability, as a result of which a particularly high level of energy recovery is possible.
  • the braking torque at a regeneratively braked rear axle is set up to 15% higher than corresponds to the fraction of the braking torque at the front axle which is to be applied according to an ideal braking force distribution.
  • the ideal braking force distribution specifies the ratio of the front wheel braking torque to the rear wheel braking torque at which the frictional engagement between the tires and the carriageway is utilized to an optimum extent. Such limitation prevents over-braking of the rear axle by the generator from putting the driving stability at risk.
  • the invention also relates to a motor vehicle brake system comprising friction brakes at the wheels of at least one axle, wherein the brake pressure generating means for the wheels of at least one axle are in a direct operative connection to the brake pedal, and at least one electric machine is in an operative connection to at least one axle which, by applying an electrically regenerative braking torque, can be used to convert kinetic energy into electrical energy, wherein actuation or closed-loop control takes place according to the above-described method.
  • the invention also relates to the use of a brake system according to the invention in a motor vehicle having an internal combustion engine.
  • FIG. 1 shows a brake system for carrying out a method according to the invention
  • FIG. 2 shows a typical generator characteristic curve
  • FIG. 3 shows a diagram of the different dependence of the intrinsic deceleration and regenerative deceleration on the speed.
  • FIG. 1 shows a regenerative brake system which is suitable for carrying out the method according to the invention.
  • the brake pedal 1 which is activated by the driver acts directly on a tandem master cylinder 2 which is operated with or without auxiliary force.
  • Said tandem master cylinder 2 builds up pressure in two essentially identical brake circuits I and II, wherein these can be assigned to the wheels either on an axle basis (front and rear) or else diagonally.
  • the brake fluid flows through isolating valves 3 and inlet valves 6 into the brake cylinders 8 which apply a frictional braking force to the wheels. If the outlet valves 7 are opened, brake fluid can be discharged into the low-pressure accumulators 9 .
  • the hydraulic pumps 5 permit a pressure built up which is independent of the driver, wherein for this purpose the electronic switchover valves 4 are opened and the isolating valves 3 are closed.
  • an electric generator 10 which permits electrically regenerative braking.
  • the method according to the invention can be used even in brake systems with a directly hydraulically activated brake system and an electromechanically activated brake system.
  • FIG. 2 a typical characteristic curve of a generator is shown as an unbroken line 21 , wherein an essentially constant generator power of 50 kW is assumed.
  • a vehicle with such an electric machine could be driven solely by said machine; if an internal combustion engine is also present, the term fully hybrid vehicle is referred to here.
  • Below a limiting speed of approximately 15 km/h the deceleration of the generator decreases strongly, for which reason in this speed range only the friction brakes are actuated. Above the limiting speed, the generator can at maximum apply a deceleration of
  • the generator can only make available a low regenerative deceleration.
  • the applied deceleration follows the line 22 of short dashes if the ratio of the braking decelerations between the friction brake and the generator is kept constant. The efficiency level of the recuperation is lower than would be possible since then only a portion of the generator deceleration which can be retrieved at low speeds is used.
  • a denotes a suitably selected constant.
  • the dashed line 24 would be obtained. This means a significantly increased efficiency level of the recuperation with moderate expenditure in terms of open-loop or closed-loop control. If the driver brakes more strongly, as a result of which a reduction in the speed to 20 km/h therefore takes place in a relatively short time, the applied deceleration follows the dot-dashed line 23 . In the case of strong braking operations, the efficiency level of the recuperation therefore decreases strongly.
  • v 0 denotes the vehicle speed at the start of the braking process
  • v current denotes the instantaneous vehicle speed
  • an intrinsic deceleration of b drag a 2 v 2 +a 1 v+a 0 , acts on the vehicle and is described by means of the parameters a 2 , a 1 and a 0 , and is caused by wind resistance, rolling resistance etc.
  • the intrinsic deceleration due to the wind resistance is significantly higher than at low speeds, which is described by the v 2 term.
  • This reduction in the intrinsic deceleration during a braking process can be compensated by increasing the requested generator deceleration. As a result, the efficiency level of the recuperation can be increased without causing a braking sensation which is unpleasant for the driver.
  • the generator can in principle make available the entire desired deceleration, with the result that the efficiency level of the recuperation is frequently already optimal.
  • the requested regenerative deceleration b requested cannot be greater than the generator deceleration which increases with decreasing speed:
  • the requested regenerative deceleration must at least compensate a change in the intrinsic deceleration in order to make available appropriately increased energy recovery:
  • FIG. 3 a shows the speed-dependent change in the term relating to the generator deceleration as a line 31 and that in the term relating to the intrinsic deceleration as a line 32 , wherein here the additional constant has been included.
  • the two curves intersect:
  • FIG. 3 b illustrates the maximum deceleration 33 applied by the generator, the intrinsic deceleration of the vehicle 34 and the profile of f(v) 35 . While at high speeds the available regenerative deceleration is used to an optimum degree, this can take place only to a restricted degree at low speeds without adversely affecting the braking behavior in a way which is unpleasant for the driver.
  • the formula for b requested is preferably stored in the control unit with the result that during the journey only the vehicle speed v 0 at the start of the braking and the instantaneous vehicle speed v have to be determined. Expediently, a value of approximately 0.1 g per 100 km/h is defined for a extra . Compared to braking without an additional request, the efficiency level of the recuperation is significantly increased without reducing the driving comfort.
